The war with Russia gave US saint,
Captain Hedley Wears, yound man,
always talking about wanting to "have
a brush with the Russians that
could piously say, Amidst the car
mage of the battlefield, after the roar
of the cannon has ceased, aud tho
deadly strife of war is over. there are
wounded men who have souls to save,
and dying men to be told to look to Je-
sus." Very cool, this The man who
has been helping with all his might to
make 1.-The carnage and the deadly
strife" just deliberately plunges his
sword into his brother, and then
kneels and asks him to look to Jesus.
This young saint did run his sword
through two of his fellow-beings, and
was i'm the act of killing third when
he himself was cut down. If the two
men whose lives he took were not con-
vrrtcd. he sent them to the bar Of God
in their sins; if they were converted,
he smote two of Gods children ; yet
ministers and teachers in Sabbath
schools have held up this man of blood
as an example of Christian piety.
Perhaps the love of fame may tor
ment thee. Consider how soon all
things will be buried in forgetfulness,
and what a bottomless cheos exists
both sides of thee; how vain is the ap-
plause of the world, how changeable
the opinions of the mob of mankind,
and how utterly devoid of judgment
they are; in short, within how mar
row a space this fame, of which thou
art so greedy, is circumscribed. For
the whole earth is a point, and how
small nook in it is thy dwelling, and
how few are there in it, and what kind
of people are they who will praise
thee.
Remember that every person, how
ever low, has rights and feelings.

Outrageous OFFICIAL Scandal In
Ramsey County,

Sunday, Oct. 16, a young woman named
Mary Zens was arrested by the city police
at st. Paul on the charge OF Kidnapping.
She was about twenty years OF age, not
bad looking and well dressed. but her &c.
tions showed symptoms OF insanity, and
after an examination in the probate court
was committed to the asylum
for the insane at Rochester. As i
customary in such cases the girl was given
into Sheriff Richter's charge to be conveyed
to the asylum, and she remained in the
jail on the night OF Monday, the 18th, and
was taken to Rochester on Tuesday by
Deputy Sheriff Frank Picha. This is =
plain story. and one that might be told in
scores OF similar cases. An arrest-nn ex-
amination-commitment to an asylum.
Soon after her arrival at Rochester Miss
Zens made incOherents statements as to her
treatment while in the Ramsey county
jail. and an examination showed that she
hal been outraged. She said that "Frank
and the two Henrys'' had criminal connec.
ton with her ON the night in question. Sept.
j. K. Bowers made as complete an iuvestiga-
ton as possible, obtaining all his informa-
ton IRON the girl. and at once notified
Rev. ii. III. Hart, secretary OF the state
board OF corrections and charities. He IN
turn notified the governor, DIR. Dana aud
William NJ. Campbell, resident members oil
the board. and an Investigation was com.
menced in st Paul.
The principal witness examined was
Louis Peterson, turnkey at the iail. whose
testimony was collated with aiiidavits re.
ceiyed from the asylum at st. Peter con-
tanning the story OF the girl, and found to
corrCborate them in many particulars.
Soon alter the investigation by the
charities board committee Sheriff Richter
sent word to Secretary Hart that he had
discharged Shields and Kramer. although
he had previously promised that Picha
should be cut of. But there is no doubt
but that the board OF charities and corree-
tions will push the matter to the utmost.

Purchasing the Northwestern
Manufacturing and Car Works at
Auction for St,Io5, ooo.75.

The sale OF the Northwestern Manu-.
featuring and Car Works was held
at Saltwater, Mimi, at the court house by
Referee w. c. Williston OF Red Wing. aud
the property was finally struck OFF
to the Minnesota Thresher company
at S1,105. o00.75. The only other
bidder for the FORKS was Andrew Crawford
OF Chicago. the Western financial agent for
Drexel, Morgan g. Co., who dropped out
after bidding 81, 100, 900. The price at
which the works were taken was a
surprise to all. the impression having
prevailed that the price would be run up
to at least So, 600, 600, ard perhaps half a
million beyond that. BY the order OF
court, the referee has five days in which to
prepare and file his report OF the sale. The
sale must be approved by the court thirty
days thereafter, and then the thresher
company, before taking possession, must
settle with Receiver Brown. q proceeding
which some assert will take two or three
months TO accomplish, during which time
Mr.. Brown viii remain in possession.
In an interview Mr.. Sabin said: 'I'l
Just simply say that the thresher
company own SO, $50, 900 OF the
claims against the car
practically all the claims. There
are a few small claims outside of
these which they do not own, and which
can give them no trouble whatever. All
there is to it. the thresher company have
got to settle up with the receiver. and own
ing. as they do. about all the claims
against the Company, walk into possession
by paying a comparatively small amount
OF money. There'l be no trouble on that
score whatever, and theyn be in posses

are in the hands OF the company, SO that
they win all be adjusted among them

He felt that many would prefer IL he adj
vocated extreme measures and physical
force, but hat as they were in Ireland
they were supposed to be the best judges

tunity. The fight was not the Irish
against the English, but between a
Troy government and the National
league. He reverted to Mr.. Chamberlain's
proposed visit to this country as an En-
glish commissioner, and advised the Irish
in America to treat Mr.. Chamberlain as
Mr.. Gladstone has done, and not forget
that he is the guest OF the United States
while here and that they are citizens.
The Irish parliamentary had adopted the
the motto OF Gen. Grant, and will fight the
battle out If 1t takes all winter.
Thomas Grattan Esmonde, NJ. p, spoke
at length, reviewing the acts OF the Irish
party and the plan OF campaign. Said he:
We are fighting the same battles in Ire
land that your forefathers did in America
over a hundred years ago. England then
wanted to force free trade upon you and
you would not submit; she tried to coerce
you. but you claimed the right
to manage your own affairs and you have
been doing it ever since. He alluded to
''tbe jubilee coercion act and asked the
people OF the United States, who have en-
abled them to struggle against a cpnccn.
trated power in England. to aid this time,
and he confidently hoped it would be tho
last struggle. We ave been coerced SO
often that we are getting used to it, and
no amount Of coercion will make us abate
one jot in our struggle for home rule.
